Hayek: Stability in value would prove to be the decisive factor

On 11 August I blogged: Is Bitcoin fatally flawed? in which I stated:"The fact that bitcoin has a fixed supply limit - 21 million - may mean it may be fatally flawed in its attempt to be money (a monetary item possessing the three attributes of money) because the limit in supply may result in it never being able to be relatively stable in real value: an essential requirement for money."Friedrich Hayek had the same view regarding the fact that a relatively stable real value is essential for an item to be accepted as money."Hayek stated that “Stability in Value” would prove to be the decisive factor in assessing the level of acceptance" (of a currency).Nicolaas Smith
